Description Ville Skyttä 2007-10-11 15:29:00 UTC
+++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #324771 +++

Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures assigned an identifier CVE-2007-5269 to the
following vulnerability:

Certain chunk handlers in libpng before 1.0.29 and 1.2.x before 1.2.21
allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) via
crafted (1) pCAL (png_handle_pCAL), (2) sCAL (png_handle_sCAL), (3)
tEXt (png_push_read_tEXt), (4) iTXt (png_handle_iTXt), and (5) ztXT
(png_handle_ztXt) chunking in PNG images, which trigger out-of-bounds
read operations.
